How to Make a Baby Girl

We were a family of 4 for 7 years before she came along.fam of 4Our last photo as a family of 4Time came and we felt ready for one more child, and the obvious prayer was to have a daughter as a "grand finale". We checked my sister's Chinese "sex determination chart" then I downloaded all the info I could find on the net after googling "How to make a baby girl". Printed it all out (for easy reference) and ended up with an inch-thick "manual" of sorts.Recommendations would be given on the type of food or drink you should ingest, the type of underwear you should wear, when to have intercourse, sexual positions, what vaginal wash to use, to influence your baby-to-be's gender. Some people would swear by the effectivity of some tips, but on the next post, another person would say those same tips did not work for them. So after going through the pages in our "manual" and still not getting those two lines in the pregnancy kit, we threw up our hands, and said, "It's up to you, God!" and prayed. Just a month after our submission to fate (and faith), we got pregnant! Then faced the heavens and said, "Bahala ka na, Lord!" And after 9 months, tons of novena prayers, He blessed us with our little girl...Reese-1-weekReese at 1 week oldShe completed the picture...Xmasand filled us with love...IMG_0101with Daddy, whom she calls her "husband"me and reese sgwith Mom, Daddy's "girlfriend"IMG_1601with the big Kuya, who's quite strictwdzachand the small Kuya, who's her playmateShe gets away with a lot of things:)...IMG_0126and opened for us a whole new world of girl-y things.belleWith her "best friend" and "fellow princess", BelleI look forward to more bonding days with her.IMG_8610Thank you, Chinese calendar?
